This operation increments the key's value by a specific number.
Method¶
Backendless.Hive(hiveName).KeyValueStore().increment(key, amount);
where:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
hiveName |
Name of a hive where the operation is performed. String value. |
key |
Key name identifying a key-value pair. String value. |
amount |
A number to increment the value of the key. |
Return Value¶
Тhe incremented value.
Example¶
The example below increments the value associated with the key "John" by 2.
